A lively and readable literary biography of a remarkable personality who was a central member of the Inklings, this book rediscovers the dramatic and contradictory life of a brilliant writer and publisher from a poor London background who became a ground-breaking theologian, fantasy novelist and poet.
Exploring the transformative power of salsa dancing, Grevel Lindop recounts his journey from awkward beginnings in Manchester to the vibrant dance scenes of Latin America. As he immerses himself in the rhythms and culture of Cuba, Venezuela, and beyond, he grapples with his identity as a 6'4" white English poet. His quest leads to encounters filled with danger, romance, and the rich history of salsa, revealing how the dance becomes an obsession that transcends cultural boundaries.
A collection of bold and original poems by Grevel Lindop which navigate the boundary between the sexual and the erotic with imaginative insight and verbal virtuosity.
Recognised as a classic when first published (winner of 'Lakeland Book of the Year' in 1994) this is a fullyrevised and updated edition of Grevel Lindop's guide to the Lake District and its literary associations. Invaluable for all with an interest in the writers, poets and novelists who have been inspired by the beauty of the area.
